It is and I'm really sad to see that. This place could be so much fun but everyone just ran away because of this stupid sentence (FlaSH wiLL dIE) spreading around, resulting in everyone losing hope not only about Sploder but every website powered by Flash. and now there is a decline in the activity. There aren't any new and active members. Everyone who joins this place nowadays leaves immediately when (s)he sees how dead this place is.Just look at these depressing charts showing the decline of interest in Sploder:

Sorry for the Cyrillic text.

Sploder is dead because every kid plays games on an iPad or iPhone and can easily download it from the App Store or google play store. The age of forums is essentially dead with the normalization of social media and YouTube. The Sploder model did not scale to the modern age of the internet. Geoff, while a brilliant programmer, he is just one man, and did not have the time to port Sploder to a mobile app (nor the interest, he’s a web dev).

If you look at your statistics, you’ll see that around the age of decline is when tablets and phones became the new personal computer, bringing a change in how people interact with the media.

Flash dying wasn’t what killed Sploder, but was but the nails in the coffin. It would take a miracle programmer to resurrect this website and bring it to the mobile world. However, the “community” would essentially die, unless it was well ported to mobile. And tbh, it’s not happening.

You are right. Just because they are teens they can't swear like that. Whatever age you are a person must be humble and good, swearing is really bad. They won't have a successful life if they swear like that

I hate to break it to ya, but pretty much every adult swears. I’ve been on this earth a few more rotations than you.

If I'm going to be honest, I appreciate the discord server, and it did seem to be quite active and all, but I personally can't seem to get adjusted there. I don't know, the people seem friendly but I can't find myself really fitting in well.

Well that's your opinion then, can't say I agree with it in the slightest though

swearing is bad.And i found a passage:

"It's just useless Swearing literally changes nothing. It can cause no harm to the person who is swearing but sure can change about what people think about people who swears. Your just creating a bad impression. It's very useless to swear. It just offends other people or it just takes hurts their feeling. Swear words are considered to be faul language, Bad word, Vulgar words etc. So why use them! Your JUST BRING VERY MEAN AND RUDE TO OTHER PEOPLE. And being a manner less uncivilized citizen who does not care about what others feel you swear at them. SO JUST STOP SWEARING AND MAKE THIS WORLD A BETTER WORLD!"

Spoken like a true politician.

If you consider curse words a genuine problem in the modern world, I have no idea what you think of more concerning issues.

Look. What you're saying, "it offends other people or it just hurts their feeling" is true in itself. But only when swearing is directed at others in a serious way. Flaming is ridiculously rare, and certainly the server is not tolerant of it. If you fear you won't be able to settle in, that's a perfectly fine reason. What you cannot falsely say, imply or accuse us of doing is constantly target others and "attack" them. That is not what we're about.

I don't even understand how this is an argument when aplat makes spot on points lol.

That's true. I primarily use mobile. The Discord is easy to access, but the forum isn't.

Swear word are “improper” in the some settings, and are generally avoided by kids, and the abundance of swearing marks for someone of an entirely different culture, but nothing bad. Bad things hurt other people or themselves. Swear words as insults are bad. Saying f*** yeah with your buds in excitement isn’t bad, as not bad intent is made.
